* ''Wolfenstein II'': The game has a Nazi occupation in America, with the twitter promotion making an unsubtle attempt at connecting this plot point with the Donald Trump presidency and his electorate. Was also rather notorious for not only this element, but also further demonstration of [[fake news]] by the left-wing media including Newsweek promoting the same claim, as well as indirectly hinting at Russian collusion.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/fakenews-newsweek-writer-calls-innocent-people-nazis-for-criticizing-video-game-without-verifying/</ref>

* ''The Simpsons Road Rage'': Blatantly pushes an anti-nuclear energy agenda, as the premise of the game involves Mr. Burns buying the public transit system and producing nuclear-powered buses, with it clearly being treated in a negative light as the game expects the player to do a volunteer taxi service to buy back the public transit system from Mr. Burns, with the taxi service being ironically a lot MORE hazardous to people's health due to extremely reckless driving and traffic violations, which is actively encouraged. The game, when first unveiling the nuclear buses, also shows the character Hans Moleman emitting a green glow and then begging for someone to kill him while in obvious agony as well as the bus itself emitting a similar green glow when Mr. Burns declares it to be "cheaper, faster, and completely safe", carrying the obvious implication that Burns was lying, even though studies have shown that nuclear power is actually much safer for the environment overall when used right and a lot more cost effective. The game was also an explicit knock-off of ''Crazy Taxi'', to the extent that one of its claim to fame was being the subject of a lawsuit by Sega, the creators of ''Crazy Taxi'', against Fox Entertainment for the similarities.

*Call of Duty 2: Like most entries in the franchise, it ultimately promotes American values and the military, as well as the British during World War II as well. However, at least one of the main campaigns depicts the Soviets in a positive manner due to it focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad.

*''Resident Evil'' series: The games generally have a subtle anti-capitalist and anti-American agenda. However, it also has a condemnation against social Darwinism and eugenics, as most of the main villains in the franchise tended to promote some form of eugenics as well as social Darwinism as their motives. In addition, one of the protagonists, Barry Burton, was implied in the English localization to be a member of the [[National Rifle Association]], and the games also to some extent featured pro-family messaging, as Barry Burton was shown to be very loyal to his family, and the character Claire Redfield is depicted as being loyal to her brother Chris, spending Resident Evil 2 trying to find him and in Code Veronica refuses to allow Albert Wesker to harm him. The games also showcase government corruption in a scarily realistic and negative light in the form of Albert Wesker (who was a former police officer in the first Resident Evil) and Brian Irons (the police chief for the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil 2). Resident Evil 4 also has a condemnation against pagan religions in the form of the Los Illuminados.

*''Final Fantasy VII:'' Promotes the concept of redemption and condemns unethical science in the form of Professor Hojo, but on the other hand, it also has a more anti-Capitalist view on things with Shin-Ra, the main antagonists, being a corporation, and is hinted to promote environmentalism due to the main protagonists being eco-terrorists.
